Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – Cutting Through the BS

In today’s cutting through the B.S. series on Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, we will be discussing why so many individuals with this condition continue to have complaints even though their lab numbers are well controlled with medication. We will discuss how the paradigm needs to shift from Hashimoto’s being a thyroid problem to it being an immune system problem. Furthermore, we will go into the research regarding patients who have Hashimoto’s with normal thyroid levels, and how the autoimmune illness creates many of the same symptoms as one would experience with low thyroid hormones.

This was a really informative video. You mentioned early in the video that you would discuss the rare times when Hashimoto’s causes weight loss instead of weight gain. I don’t think you ever mentioned it, though. Is there another video where you discuss that?
